I consider myself fairly new here. Technically I've been on the site for six months (almost) but still, rather new compared to a lot of you here.

So I have a general question here, and I hope I don't get EDIT: OSTRACIZED for it:

are there specific things to NEVER do that will result in getting EDIT: OSTRACIZED ?
 
don't call someone a f@g or post pictures of Nicole Bass. And you certainly don't want to call someone a f@g WHILE posting a pic of Nicole Bass, or call Nicole Bass a f@g. In general, just stay away from Nicole Bass.
 
The trap is set. Let's see who bites!




About a dozen phrases and generally jackassery.

And if you're a man pretending to be a woman, it's been done, so get a new gimmick.
 
I was worried that even posting this would probably set me up for getting OSTRACIZED, but was hoping that people would figure that giving others a heads-up on what NOT to do, so as to save a shitload of OSTRACIZATION from going on (followed by pleading from people to mods, pm's, emails, etc etc etc), this couldn't be that bad of a post.

though now I figure i'll be OSTRACIZED within 4 hours. dammit.


there... no worries, right? :)
 
I haven't been banned yet, so I wouldn't know.

...but I can tell you I'm risking being banned for saying I haven't been banned yet :)

Remember, this is GAF. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious.

Yeah, the last thing we want around here is for all the n00bs to get banned.

Umm, I think you have GAF confused with someplace else, and I don't mean Mos Eisley ;P
 
Some pro-tips:

-If you're a conservative, either realize that this is not a Fox news show where you can spout spurious horsecrap without backing yourself up or just stay out of political threads altogether. Honestly, I wish we had some honest conservatives who don't just mindlessly toe the party line and parrot talking points, but that seems to be all we get and they get banned for not being able to accept that reality and the world they live in are not quite the same thing.

-Don't like the DS.

-Don't randomly insult people or post nasty fucking pics.

Other than that, have fun I guess. I'm still around and that's gotta be a minor miracle in and of itself.

Is it required to masturbate to the PSP?

It is not REQUIRED, but it is certainly PREFERRED. It is, however, REQUIRED to acknowledge that the PSP is superior in just about every way to the DS.

And Boogie, you're too nice to be a real conservative.

no, I just think that Boogie is a true conservative, you know, the kind that would rather incremental change over drastic change, the kind that prefers to hold onto what work rather than try something new. In fact I see a lot of conservatism in the current Democratic party, not that this is a surpise, after you have run congress for 40 years it's not surprising that most of your agendas ahve been met and now it's just s struggle to hold onto them, in other words, a fight against change. Anyway, as any proud progressive should be, I'm drunk right now and it's only 3:50 PM

... hey, were you thinking about the city of Troy and giant wooden objects too?

If you mean giant wooden "objects" *wink, wink* then.....no. But now I dont know what you think I mean. Or if I even meant what I wrote in response to dudes acting like women. But if I know what I meant in the original post and not meant what I know in this post then I think I really meant what I thought I know. Are we clear?

We sure are clear ... we're talking about condoms, right?

Holy crap. Funniest post in awhile. I spit water all over my monitor.

I can't take credit for that joke. It was on some PSP article that mentioned GAF. I just recycled it in a very fitting way.
 
- No mysogony.

- Unless Dragona's away from the computer.

- Then it's fine.

- No making fun of black people unless you're Lord Federman

- No joke threads unless you're Lord Federman.

- No four syllable joke threads unless you're MrAngryFace. Or Lord Federman.

- Making fun of Matlock generally scores you e-props
 
Here's how to avoid OSTRACIZATION from Drinky Crow (outside of specific ToS violations, if/when I choose to enforce 'em):

1. Don't derail a thread by talking about a poster to the exclusion of his/her posts in that thread. It's a pet peeve of mine that I'm gonna start to enforce in the more extreme cases, although I usually let posts critical of me slide because I probably encouraged it at some point.

2. Don't launch into direct personal attacks on other posters. A few insults slung about in the context of a thread is fine, but when the attacks turn independent of the thread or degenerate into forum stalking: BYE BYE. This is how we fertilize the fields of Opa Ages, in most cases.

3. Don't take the bait. When a mod says they will ban you if you post a specific item or phrase in a thread, they usually mean it -- and it's usually designed to bring out forum crusaders. Bite your tongue. We're testing you.

4. Don't be a forum crusader, period. You can't win, and martyrs are quickly forgotten.

5. Don't be from IGN. Seriously. olimario is enough IGN refuse for ANY forum.
 
As long as you can hate any game made within the last 10 years (unless it's difficult or ultra-Japanese), and can seriously debate about how eating swiss cheese can ruin America, then you can fit in fine here :)
 
dog$'s anti-banning tips:

1) Don't bump a thread more than 3 pages back without a very god-damned good reason to do so. Adding in your own individual opinion regarding some issue without providing more factual information or otherwise expanding the discussion is not a good reason.

2) Don't begin a non-complimentary sentence with the words "You people".
